Protection in the lightest of packages

New laser cut ventilation technology allows the On running hat to provide high-performance protection, while at the same time being feather-light and fast-drying. Basically - whatever weather you run in, you’re covered.

Made with tear proof woven fabrics, ultra-soft sweatbands, clip-pull sizing and finished with hand-detailing, the Lightweight Cap is in a field of its own. For protection, for ventilation, for feel, this running hat is without contender – but with everything your run could need.

Lightweight Cap reviews

What runners say

Superb

timwiggins1, England, I run 0 - 20km per week, I run primarily to build endurance

Beautifully lightweight and breathable, this cap is a great way to shield your head from the elements.

The lightweight design means it dries quickly, and is barely noticeable in terms of heat build up.

Although a little tight on a large size head, it has stretched out a bit, making it comfortable for even all-day wear.

A lot to pay for a cap, but probably the best I’ve ever worn

Tested in the Scottish Highlands - 5 seasons 1 day!

Reuben Tabner, Scottish Highlands, I run 20 - 40km per week, I run primarily to move and explore

Starting a long run in the Highlands, you can never be sure how the day will flow, rain will make way to sun, calm to gales, and everything in-between, in my mind, it's the perfect testing ground for kit, if it survives in Scotland, it's going to do pretty well more or less anywhere in the World!

I get into trouble for not slapping on enough sunscreen as the bonce never lies, even in Scotland! That's all changed since I started running with this cap, no more telltale sunburn, no more pealing scalp, that's all gone thanks to a lightweight cap that I will reach for time and time again. Now the weather has changed in the Highlands, the days are increasingly damp, so the cap has a new task, which it is performing equally as well - keeping the rain out of my eyes so I can see the trail ahead.

A great cap which does everything it needs to, without getting in the way! I keep wearing it, so it must be good!

Can't Fault It

Grace Fleming, Tunbridge Wells, I run over 40km per week, I run primarily to train to race and compete

I have been testing this hat out now for two months, I have well and truly put it through its paces! Whether rain or shine, this cap has its purpose. It's so light weight allowing you to almost forget it is even on your head, but at the same time either protecting you from the sun or the rain.

I really have nothing bad to say about this cap and I think this is down to some excellent designing. I have also written a whole blog post review about this hat at http://www.racewithgrace.co.uk/reviews/on-cap if you want to see more of it in action!

This cap has turned me from never wearing a cap, to it becoming an essential part of my daily kit.
